Instead of deleting a waypoint, it's often more advisable to update it, especially when waypoint position adjustments are needed. Here's why updating is a better practice:
- Updating waypoints allows you to make necessary adjustments while retaining the continuity of missions that rely on those waypoints. This prevents mission disruption.
- Updating waypoints is a more efficient way to make changes to waypoints. It's faster and more convenient than deleting and creating a new waypoint. By this you need to find and update all the missions that rely on that waypoint.
